    What accident?

    I wasn't involved in one moron.

    Whats that cyclist doing under my back wheels?

    It wasn't my fault, he didn't know which way to run so I run him over.

    I think between us we've just summed up all 85 of Kraken's posts into 5.

    Anyone coming late to the thread can just read posts 403 - 407 for the OP's entire contribution :D

    The only person is is lucky is the cyclist
    He could have been killed because he didn't look or signal.
    The only consequence for me would have been damage to my car which i would have claimed from the dead mans estate.

    This tells us all we need to know about your character and your approach to driving and other road users. Only concerned with your own vehicle and getting to your destination as quickly as possible and to hell with anyone else. This is why you have had an accident. A little circumspection and patience would have prevented this situation. Your reactionary and aggressive nature has been beautifully demonstrated over the course of this thread, so I'm not surprised that you're an impatient and aggressive driver behind the wheel.

    You would have no luck claiming from the dead man's estate anyway. The insurers would still have deemed you to be liable, fatality or not.

    Aah - you had my sympathy to start with OP but the road positioning info kinda changed that.
    So this cyclist was riding near the apex of the road (i.e close to the position they would take if they were going to turn right.
    You say they didn't indicate but there are many good reasons a cyclist can't indicate e.g. when using the brakes or if the road is bumpy (or they believe it looks bumpy ) and removing hands could cause a loss of control.
    Plus - how do you know they didn't indicate and you missed it? What's that you say - you were watching them all the time ; but how then did you check your mirrors to know it was safe for you to overtake or are you guilty of what you accuse the cyclist of i.e not checking behind them?
    all questions the no win no fee lawyers will ask and many more besides
